About this listen

This week on the podcast, we went from the Olympic Games… to Bigfoot. Yes, really.

In the first half, Caleb quizzes Christina with some surprisingly tough (but fascinating) trivia about the history of the Olympics, from the ancient Games in Olympia to the revival of the modern Olympics in Athens in 1896. We talk about traditions like the Olympic Truce, the torch relay, canceled Games during the World Wars, and legendary athletes like Michael Phelps.It’s competitive. It’s educational. It’s slightly chaotic.

Then in the second half, Christina takes over and breaks down the origins of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch. We dig into where the legend actually started, Native American oral traditions, the famous 1967 Patterson Gimlin film in Northern California, and how the myth evolved into modern cryptid culture.Is Bigfoot just folklore? A misunderstood animal? Or one of the greatest mysteries still debated today?
